Root canal treatment in Hanoi costs USD 60–200 per tooth at international-patient-facing clinics — roughly 60–75% below Australian and UK rates. The real reason to have it done in Vietnam is rarely the root canal alone: it is the crown that almost always follows, and combining both in one Hanoi trip produces a meaningful total saving. This guide covers the five best Hanoi clinics for endodontic work, with notes on the technology and specialist depth that separate a smooth case from a complicated one.
Root canal costs: Hanoi vs home
Per tooth, varies by number of canals and complexity. AUD/USD 0.65, June 2026.
| Procedure | Hanoi (USD) | Australia (AUD) | UK (GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root canal — front tooth (single canal) | $60–120 | AUD 800–1,400 | GBP 500–900 |
| Root canal — molar (multi-canal) | $100–200 | AUD 1,400–2,500 | GBP 900–1,600 |
| Crown on root-canal-treated tooth | $150–400 | AUD 1,200–2,200 | GBP 700–1,400 |
| Combined root canal + crown (molar) | $250–600 | AUD 2,600–4,700 | GBP 1,600–3,000 |
1. Picasso Dental Clinic — Hanoi
The first choice for root canal work in Hanoi, partly because endodontic cases almost always end in a crown, and Picasso handles both in-house at international-tier standards. The crown that follows a root canal should be done by the same team that knows the tooth — Picasso’s Hanoi branches manage this workflow smoothly. 4.9/5 from 3,921 patient reviews across the national network.
Old Quarter: 16 Phố Châu Long, Trúc Bạch, Ba Đình
Westlake: LKC22 Hoàng Minh Thảo, Bắc Từ Liêm
Picasso Dental Clinic
Rated 4.9/5 from 3,921 reviews. The best choice when root canal and crown need to be completed on the same trip.
2. Elite Implant Center — Ba Dinh
Has an endodontic specialist on the team, which matters for complex multi-canal cases or re-treatments of previous failed root canals. Rotary instrumentation and apex locators are standard. Ask about microscope-assisted endodontics if your case is a narrow, curved, or previously treated canal.
3. Hanoi Dental Center — Hoan Kiem
Handles root canal cases routinely as part of its general and restorative caseload. Rotary systems are used, and crown fabrication follows in-house. Pricing is at the mid-tier for Hanoi. Suitable for straightforward anterior and molar cases.
4. Viet Dental International — Tay Ho
A clinic that handles complex restorative sequences including root canal followed by post-and-core and crown. English is good at coordinator level. Worth including on a quote comparison when the root canal is part of a larger treatment plan.
5. Smile Studio — Ba Dinh
Handles routine endodontic cases alongside its cosmetic caseload. For straightforward single or double-canal cases where the priority is completing treatment and fitting a crown in one trip, it is a practical option.
What separates a good root canal clinic from a mediocre one
Rotary instrumentation: Modern nickel-titanium rotary systems reduce treatment time and the risk of file separation compared to older manual techniques. All five clinics above use rotary systems; this should be a baseline expectation.
Apex locator: An electronic device that confirms the working length of each canal accurately, reducing guesswork on canal depth. Standard at all international-tier clinics.
Dental microscope: Used by endodontic specialists for complex cases — finding additional canals, managing calcified canals, and treating re-treatment cases. Not standard at all clinics; ask specifically if your case involves a molar re-treatment or a missed canal.
The crown: A root-canal-treated tooth must be crowned to prevent fracture. Budget for both in the same trip. The combined total in Hanoi for a molar root canal plus zirconia crown is typically USD 250–600 — versus AUD 2,600–4,700 for the same at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a root canal cost in Hanoi? A molar root canal (three to four canals) costs USD 100–200 at Hanoi’s international-patient clinics. A front tooth (single canal) runs USD 60–120. Combined with a crown, a molar case typically totals USD 250–600.
Do I need a specialist endodontist in Hanoi? For straightforward cases — a first-time root canal in a well-visible tooth without complication — a competent general dentist with rotary equipment is adequate. For re-treatments, missed canals, curved roots, or complex molars, ask specifically whether the clinic has an endodontic specialist or uses microscope assistance.
Can I get a root canal and crown on the same trip to Hanoi? Yes. The standard sequence is root canal first, then a temporary filling while the tooth settles, then crown preparation and fitting a few days later. A 7–10 day Hanoi trip comfortably accommodates both in sequence.
